Knowing our way around the place

We were back for the third time to the Multnomah County Library to help push our way through more material! Sunday, February 28 four of us had the priviledge of working right in the heart of things at the Central branch in Circulation, right next to the regular staff. It kind of went right to our heads. We were even trained on how to label media! DVDs, CDs, audio books - all of them needed a RFID tag (Radio Frequency Identification). Then we scanned each item into the system and gave each one a big yellow Sharpie swipe across their spine. One after the other after the other! We made some great progress. I think some of us may have even been pretending that we actually worked at the library, which, for the right kind of person, could be a dream come true.
